ties, shall not attempt to decide. The fact
is have stated" When the mugwumps
first came into political existence in Indianap-
oils careful polling of the party by the
Journal showed that it contained five voters.
Recent investigations indicate that there has
been falling off of As the majority
for Grover Cleveland in Indiana was consid-
erably more than five, and as the Republican
majority at the late city election largely ex-
ceeded that number, it seems to follow that it
was thrift" and not influence or strength of
numbers which caused them to be on the
winning side. Under this theory, however.
the former assertion that they were animated
solely by lofty mJfl principle is entirely
knocked out. The change of base seems to
call for some explanation.

UNITED STATES SENATOR GORDON in in
Producing jeff Davis at Macon said, among
other eulogistic things: cit is his good
fortune, after an eventful life filed with
stormy scenes and vicissitudes, to look back
upon a career without blot stain-a life
that has been spent in the service of his coun-
try and his country's liberty" Of course it
been the leader of conspiracy to destroy the
Union. The country he served was the South,
and the liberty he fought for was the liberty
to hold slaves. But we must not wave the
bloody shirt. n

THE Republicans of New York city seem to
have been remarkably fortunate in their NOM
ination of city ticket, or rather to have act
ed with remarkable wisdom. Describing all
factonal and merely partisan considerations
they nominated ticket that commands the
universal respect by reason of the individual
character of the candidates and its consequent
strength as a whole. This is illustrated by
the nomination of the Hon. John Jay Knox
for City Comptroller. Mr.. Knox was for sew
enteen years Comptroller OF the Currency at
Washington, and is widely known as man of
the highest personal integrity and of large
financial experience. He resigned his position
in Washington about four years ago to take
the presidency of the Bank of the Republic in
New York, which place he ow holds Mr.
Knox is not in politics. and the nomination
came to him unsought and because of his rec
ognized ability and fitness. If elected he will
make the best Comptroller New York ever
had The other nominations are almost
equally happy, and the ticket whole is one
with which the Republicans ought to be able
m win

It says Mr.. Chamberlain lacks one essential
qualification of diplomatist in tina, he can
not hold his tongue, and asks: what is one
to say of a diplomatic who thinks it wise to
celebrate his departure on friendly mission

dispute which he is sent to ADJUST" 1t will
be rather gratifying to Americans to learn
that other diplomatists than our own are
addicted to blunders.

THE ex-confederates at Macon made fools
of themselves over Jefferson Davis, actually
fighting and climbing over one another to get
near him. A touch of his hand set men wild,
and a chance to kiss anything where his hand
had rested was esteemed an inestimable privi-
lege. A confederate battle flag was passed
over the heads of the crowd, and United
States Senator Colquitt placed it in jeff Da-
vis's hands, while thee shouted to him
to ''wave it." He did so; then, bowling his
head, kissed it, while convenient tears
streamed from his eyes. Mrs. Davis tore off
a little piece and kissed it. whereat the crowd
cheered again and again. One man got near
enough to Davis to hold up his cane, when
the latter shook the end of it. Then men
struggled for the privilege of kissing it. And
so it went on through every phase of demon
stratiye disloyalty These facts are reported
by correspondents vino witnessed the scene
and who confess themselves amazed at the
demonstration. We mention them at the risk
of being charged with waving the bloody
shirt

A New YORK special says that the Presi-
dent and Colonel Lamont each sent checks to
the Democratic committee in New York to
be used in the campaign, and accompanied
the contributions with letters expressing the
hope that the Democrats would win the race.
This is 'pernicious activity" and is a bad
example to set to the down trodden govern
ment clerk who comes under the civil-service
law. Possibly it is a rebuke to Edgerton and
Obery, who talk too much, the President
says, or is intended to disgust the whole COM
mission it will resign in body. Then
men could be appointed who would be discreet
enough not to open their mouths until after
the campaign next year. Who knows what
those two great Democrats at the White House
may be figuring ona

Fraud and Intimidation.
Baltimore American.
Fraud is again triumphant in our city The
united and energetic work of Republicans and
reformers was powerless yesterday against in
trenched corruption. The miserable election
law which the Democratic managers cling to
with the desperation of drowning men, afforded
ample opportunities for the repetition of
the pernlcious practices which have
often made farce of elections in this
city and State, and again defeated the will Of
the people, Repeating in it's most aggravated
form prevailed in the Democratic strou ghoids.

they surrendered all their time to the hercuean
task, were unable to purge the registration list
to any appreclable extent With honest regis
tration, the suppression of lawlessness and IN
timidaton. and fair count Mr.. Bartlett would
undoubtedly have swept the city by 10000
majority; but the registers and the roughs stood
as an impregnable barrier between the people
and honest efforts for their enfranchisement

managers instead of the laws they are sworn to
execute, and thus employ the tactics of bullying
and intimidation successfully iuaugurated in
1875 and practiced since then Brave men will
not always quietly submit to the Wholesale rob-
berry Of their rights as free men, and the bosses
arc piling mp for themselves a debt which will
some day other be paid with compound inter-
est. Among the tricks resorted to yesterday to
defeat the will of the people, the most common
and effective was the mis-spelng of the names
of voters the substitution of initials. Thou
sands were thus deliberately disfranchised who
would have polled plumpers against the foul
wrongs which annually perpetrated on q
long suffering people.

THE news from Paris foreshadows Cabinet
crisis and probable change OF Ministry. In
deed, the sensational events of the last few
mouths and the feverish condition of the pub
lie mind might almost seem Indicative of
even greater changes, and a possible revolu-
ton. The French people are not noted for
stability, and republican government is not
as deeply rooted there as it might be. Under
ordinary circumstances a change of Ministry
ought not TO be attended with any danger,
but in the present circumstances it may lead
to unexpected results.
